This weeks theme is one of the trickiest techniques - water marble. The technique itself is fun, even mistakes, but cleanup is far from it so I decided to cheat this time. And I couldn't even do that properly - I'll never become a good cheat.

Since MoYou Nails "buy two, get two" offer on stamping plates is still active (until the end of the month), I think it is only fair to show you another one of their image plates and this is one of my favourites from their square plate line.

Welcome to Café Cuccio. Do you take cream and sugar? Normally, nude polishes are not my cup of tea, but from time to time I happen to like some enough that I want to own it. This one I am showing you today is one such polish. Cuccio polishes come in 13 ml bottles and are available at salons and salon supply stores.

Recently Avon added another line of nail polish to their offer - Gel Shine. This line is replacing Gel Finish line. Some of the old colours are still available in new formula, some have been retired and there are also some new colours. Citronized is one of the new shades and it has reached me thanks to Mala Palčica. Like other polishes, these come in 10 ml bottles and retail for about €4.

Essie has been on sale here in Serbia so I took this chance to get the only polish from the fall-winter mix our importer tried to pass of as a single collection. If I sound bitter, that is because I am embittered by such policies. As a company, Essie went out of their comfort zone and in autumn and winter last year they offered several shades different from their regular palette (nearly white, pink, red) and thanks to bad ideas of the team that decides what will be imported where, we got only one of them. There are no signs that this year's spring or summer collections will be hitting our stores any time soon and I am afraid that if and when they do, they'd be "free of" polishes that are of interest to me.

Galaxy is Dance Legend collection which caught my maximum attention. I have bought four of six polishes, and the two I skipped only because I am not a fan of blue-purple shifts. I nearly failed to get this polish as well, but curiosity and my affinity to odd colours got the best of me. Galaxy collection comes in 6.5 ml bottles (although I had bought one in 15 ml bottle from Llarowe some time ago), and each polish retails for 7.95 € at Hypnotic Polish, and 8.5 € at Nail Land.

Another Sunday, another theme, this time right up my alley. Even though I don't wear this form of mani often, I do it gladly. I consider it to be quite wearable, with a wide variety of combinations, from subtle to refined to hyper-modern ones. I have kept to simplicity, as usual, and I hope that you'll like my take on this manicure.

I can't escape the notion that there is more and more interest for nail stamping in Serbia. Not only are girls and women more interested in this form of nail art, but importers are turning to more established brands as well. I have to admit that up until several months ago I had no idea that Hungarian brand Moyra offered image plates as well, but as soon as I expressed interest in them, it turned out that our importer, Nail Line, has them in stock. If you are in Hungary, you can order them from the official website, and if you are elsewhere, http://www.nailland.hu/ ships internationally. Moyra stamping plates retail for 5.90 €.

For autumn 2014. Sephora had placed on market Grey Obsessions collection and part of it was a couple of prismatic polishes - silver and dark grey, which are the most common choices for non-indie makers when they want to try to make holos. Since I've already had several similar polishes I was not in a hurry to get this pair, but in the end my curiosity and desire to see if Sephora could make a decent holo polish got the better of me. These are no longer available, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were brought back at some point in future.

It has been quite some time since I've seen something of interest among Flormar polishes, however, several months ago a couple of them had caught my eye. Judging from the number, this one is one of the more recent ones and I have to say that I am very pleased that Flormar finally started to give them true names.

Several years ago, before I got hit again by polishaholic madness, my collection was dominated by two colurs - red and black. Red is in fact still making fr the biggest part of my collection, but black polishes are those that I use the most. There is no better base for toppers, glitters, flakes, stamping than a good black creme. That is why and how I came by a Cuccio black polish. Cuccio polishes come in 13 ml bottles and are available at salons and salon supply stores.

Not two years have passed since I rounded up the Alessandro Go Magic Heavy Metal foursome, and I am already wearing the one that I had bought last. :D At first I wasn't planning to get it at all, but it would be a shame had I not bought it because now I have the entire collection. This was a limited edition and I am unsure if it can still be found somewhere.

My birthday month has come and gone and I haven't bought myself anything exotic. Actually, I did try to order some indie and boutique polishes, but for unknown reason my card has been declined. Sniffle. However, as a consolation there was Cosmetics Expo with some really unexpected new arrivals, and I had some other purchases as well. Let's have a look at what ended up in my box of new items.

You could see a portion of today's mani yesterday in MoYou Nails clear stamper review. This week's theme is geometric design, and I nearly went the most obvious way for me (ahem, Mondrian, Kandinsky, Metropolis), but at the last moment I changed my mind and took a bit different turn, albeit I did not push myself outside of my zone of comfort.
